The Saab 210 Draken was an experimental aircraft that tested the double delta wing design for the Saab 35 Draken fighter. It was a small, tailless jet powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Adder engine. It flew for the first time in 1952 and underwent several modifications until 1955. It was also known as Lilldraken (Little Dragon) because of its resemblance to the larger Saab 35 Draken. The Saab 210 Draken proved the feasibility and performance of the double delta wing at subsonic speeds.
